Just need some direction...

Sorry, I don't remember what Euler's method is, so instead of my looking it up on the site
mathworld.wolfram.com
how about you do that? If that doesn't do it for you, email me or h_chalker@yahoo.com.au

There must be some confusion here, because as written the function does not give f(1) = 7 but f(1) = 2. Are you sure that you have copied everything correctly.

f(x+dx) = f(x) + f'(x)*dx
Take dx=0.1 and start with x=1
In 10 steps you should get the approximate answer for f(2)
